Please come and teach 00:00:53.29\00:00:56.34 that to us, through the Holy Spirit. Thank you for loving us. 00:00:56.37\00:00:59.89 We love you so much. Amen 00:00:59.92\00:01:01.66 We are reading in the book of Numbers. We are in chapter 10 00:01:01.69\00:01:05.69 and beginning with verse 22 and this is the King James Version. 00:01:06.25\00:01:09.41 And the standard of the camp of the children of Ephraim 00:01:09.44\00:01:13.71 set forward, according to their armies. 00:01:13.74\00:01:15.78 And over his host was Elishama the son of 00:01:15.81\00:01:19.40 Ammihud. And over the host of the tribe of the children of 00:01:19.43\00:01:22.76 Manasseh was Gamaliel, the son of Pedahzur. 00:01:22.79\00:01:25.63 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Benjamin 00:01:25.66\00:01:28.78 was Abidan the son of Gideoni. 00:01:28.81\00:01:30.69 And the standard of the camp of the children of Dan set forward, 00:01:30.72\00:01:34.72 which was the rearward of all the camps throughout their hosts 00:01:35.29\00:01:39.29 and over his host was Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai. 00:01:39.79\00:01:43.79 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Asher 00:01:44.31\00:01:47.93 was Pagiel the son of Ocran. 00:01:47.96\00:01:50.13 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Naphtali 00:01:50.16\00:01:53.29 was Ahira the son of Enan. 00:01:53.32\00:01:56.13 Thus were the journeyings of the children of Israel 00:01:56.16\00:01:59.35 according to their armies, when they set forward. 00:01:59.38\00:02:02.28 And Moses said unto Hobab, the son of Refuel 00:02:02.31\00:02:06.31 the Midianite, Moses father- in-law, we are journeying unto 00:02:06.42\00:02:11.64 the place of which the Lord said, I will give it to you: 00:02:11.71\00:02:14.85 come thou with us, and we will do thee good: for the Lord hath 00:02:14.88\00:02:18.88 spoken good concerning Israel. And he said unto him, I will 00:02:19.30\00:02:23.30 not go, but I will depart to mine own land and to my kindred. 00:02:24.07\00:02:28.02 And he said, Leave us not I pray thee; forasmuch as thou knowest 00:02:28.05\00:02:34.09 how we are to encamp in the wilderness, 00:02:34.35\00:02:36.68 and thou mayest be to us instead of eyes. 00:02:36.71\00:02:39.12 And it shall be if thou go with us, yea, it shall be 00:02:39.15\00:02:43.15 that what goodness the Lord shall do unto us, 00:02:43.53\00:02:45.75 the same will we do unto thee. 00:02:45.78\00:02:47.95 And they departed from the mount of the Lord three days' journey. 00:02:47.98\00:02:51.98 And the ark of the covenant of the Lord went before them 00:02:52.62\00:02:56.05 in the three days' journey to search out a resting place 00:02:56.08\00:02:58.99 for them. And the cloud of the Lord was upon them by day, 00:02:59.02\00:03:03.02 when they went out of the camp, and it came to pass, 00:03:03.12\00:03:05.92 when the ark set forward that Moses said, Rise up Lord 00:03:05.95\00:03:09.95 and let Thine enemies b scattered 00:03:10.06\00:03:11.82 and let them that hate Thee flee before Thee. 00:03:11.85\00:03:14.71 And when it rested, he said, Return, O Lord, 00:03:14.74\00:03:18.43 unto the many thousands of Israel. 00:03:18.46\00:03:20.58 We are continuing in chapter 11 of the book of Numbers. 00:03:20.61\00:03:24.58 This is the King James Version. 00:03:25.44\00:03:27.21 And when the people complained it displeased the Lord: 00:03:27.24\00:03:31.21 and the Lord heard it and His anger was kindled; 00:03:31.62\00:03:34.80 and the fire of the Lord burnt among them and consumed them 00:03:34.83\00:03:38.80 that were in the uttermost parts of the camp. 00:03:39.05\00:03:41.33 And the people cried unto Moses; and when Moses prayed unto 00:03:41.36\00:03:45.33 the Lord, the fire was quenched. And he called the name of the 00:03:45.42\00:03:49.42 place Taberah: because the fire of the Lord burnt among them. 00:03:49.59\00:03:53.32 And the mixed multitude that was among them fell a-lusting: 00:03:53.35\00:03:57.32 and the children of Israel also wept again and said, 00:03:57.95\00:04:01.53 Who shall give us flesh to eat? We remember the fish 00:04:01.56\00:04:05.28 which we did eat in Egypt freely the cucumbers, and the melons 00:04:05.31\00:04:08.90 and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic: 00:04:08.93\00:04:11.47 But now our soul is dried away. There is nothing at all, 00:04:11.50\00:04:16.44 beside this manna before our eyes. And the manna was as 00:04:16.47\00:04:21.34 coriander seed, and the color thereof as the color of bdellium 00:04:21.37\00:04:24.93 and the people went about and gathered it and ground it 00:04:24.96\00:04:28.46 in mills or beat it in a mortar, and baked it in pans 00:04:28.49\00:04:31.55 and made cakes of it. And the taste of it was as the taste of 00:04:31.58\00:04:34.84 fresh oil. And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, 00:04:34.88\00:04:38.53 the manna fell upon it. Then Moses heard the people weep 00:04:38.68\00:04:43.52 throughout their families, every man in the door 00:04:43.55\00:04:45.80 of his tent. And the anger of the Lord was kindled greatly; 00:04:45.83\00:04:50.58 Moses also was displeased. And Moses said unto the Lord, 00:04:50.61\00:04:55.76 Wherefore hast Thou afflicted thy servant and wherefore have 00:04:55.79\00:04:59.03 I not found favor in Thy sight, that thou layest the burden 00:04:59.06\00:05:02.48 of all this people upon me? Have I conceived all this people 00:05:02.51\00:05:06.33 have I begotten them that Thou shouldest say unto me, Carry 00:05:06.36\00:05:09.00 them in thy bosom, as a nursing father beareth the suckling 00:05:09.03\00:05:11.68 child unto the land which Thou swearest unto their fathers? 00:05:11.71\00:05:14.44 Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this people? 00:05:14.47\00:05:17.92 for they weep unto me, saying, Give us flesh that we may eat. 00:05:17.95\00:05:20.90 I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is 00:05:20.93\00:05:24.66 too heavy for me. And if Thou deal thus with me, kill me, 00:05:24.69\00:05:28.62 I pray Thee, out of hand, if I have found favor in Thy sight; 00:05:28.65\00:05:31.98 and let me not see my wretchedness. 00:05:32.01\00:05:33.91 And the Lord said unto Moses, Gather unto me 70 men of the 00:05:33.94\00:05:38.75 elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders of the 00:05:38.78\00:05:41.32 the people and officers over them and bring them unto the 00:05:41.35\00:05:44.61 tabernacle of the congregation; that they may stand there with 00:05:44.64\00:05:47.83 thee. And I will come down and talk with you there. 00:05:47.86\00:05:51.01 And I will take of the spirit which is upon thee, and will 00:05:51.04\00:05:54.78 put it upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people 00:05:54.81\00:05:58.79 with thee, that thou bear it not thyself alone. 00:05:58.82\00:06:02.82 And say thou unto the people, Sanctify yourselves 00:06:02.90\00:06:06.58 against tomorrow, and ye shall eat flesh: 00:06:06.61\00:06:09.84 for ye have wept in the ears of the Lord, saying, Who shall 00:06:09.87\00:06:13.27 give us flesh to eat? for it was well with us in Egypt: 00:06:13.30\00:06:16.15 therefore the Lord will give you flesh, and ye shall eat. 00:06:16.18\00:06:19.63 You shall not eat one day, nor 2 days, nor 5 days, neither 10 00:06:19.66\00:06:23.56 days, nor 20 days; but even a whole month until it come out 00:06:23.59\00:06:27.56 at your nostrils and it be loathsome unto you: 00:06:27.66\00:06:30.08 because that ye have despised the Lord which is among you, 00:06:30.11\00:06:34.09 but have wept before Him saying, Why came we forth out of Egypt? 00:06:34.12\00:06:37.79 And Moses said, the people among whom I am are 600,000 footmen; 00:06:37.82\00:06:46.39 and Thou has said, I will give them flesh, that they may eat a 00:06:46.75\00:06:50.71 whole month. Shall the flocks and the herds be slain for them, 00:06:50.74\00:06:54.71 to suffice them? or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered 00:06:54.78\00:06:57.76 together for them to suffice them? And the Lord said unto 00:06:57.79\00:07:01.76 Moses, is the Lord's hand waxed short? thou shalt see now 00:07:01.88\00:07:07.66 whether my word shall come to pass unto thee or not. 00:07:07.75\00:07:10.64 And Moses went out and told the people the words of the Lord 00:07:10.67\00:07:14.54 and gathered the 70 men of the elders of the people 00:07:14.57\00:07:17.26 and set them round about the tabernacle. 00:07:17.29\00:07:19.15 And the Lord came down in a cloud and spake unto him 00:07:19.18\00:07:23.15 and took of the spirit that was upon him and gave it 00:07:23.20\00:07:26.84 unto the 70 elders: and it came to pass that when the spirit 00:07:26.87\00:07:30.84 rested upon them, they prophesied, and did not cease. 00:07:31.09\00:07:34.97 But there remained two of the men in the camp. The name of 00:07:35.00\00:07:38.97 one was Eldad, and the name of the other was Medad. 00:07:39.56\00:07:42.16 And the spirit rested upon them. And they were of them that were 00:07:42.19\00:07:46.16 written, but went not out unto the tabernacle: 00:07:47.09\00:07:49.72 and they prophesied in the camp. And there ran a young man 00:07:49.75\00:07:53.72 and told Moses and said, Eldad and Medad do prophesy 00:07:54.17\00:07:56.86 in the camp. And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, 00:07:56.89\00:08:02.25 one of his young men, answered and said, My lord Moses 00:08:02.30\00:08:06.07 forbid them. And Moses said unto him, Enviest thou for my sake? 00:08:06.10\00:08:12.01 would God that all the Lord's people were prophets, and that 00:08:12.12\00:08:15.45 the Lord would put His spirit upon them. And Moses gat him 00:08:15.48\00:08:19.45 into the camp, he and the elders of Israel. And there went forth 00:08:19.61\00:08:23.61 a wind from the Lord and brought quails from the sea and let them 00:08:24.02\00:08:28.86 fall by the camp as it were a day's journey on this side 00:08:28.89\00:08:32.47 and as it were a day's journey on the other side round about 00:08:32.50\00:08:35.66 the camp. And as it were two cubits high upon the face 00:08:35.69\00:08:39.49 of the earth. And the people stood up all that day 00:08:39.52\00:08:43.36 and all that night and all the next day and they gathered 00:08:43.39\00:08:46.61 the quails. He that gathered least gathered 10 homers: 00:08:46.64\00:08:50.56 and they spread them all abroad for themselves round about 00:08:50.59\00:08:53.57 the camp. And while the flesh was yet between their teeth 00:08:53.60\00:08:57.57 ere it was chewed, the wrath of the Lord was kindled against 00:08:57.60\00:09:01.31 the people. And the Lord smote the people with a very great 00:09:01.34\00:09:04.67 plague. And He called the name of that place Kibrothhattaavah: 00:09:04.70\00:09:09.40 because there they buried the people that lusted. 00:09:09.43\00:09:13.01 And the people journeyed from Kibroth Hattaavah unto 00:09:13.04\00:09:17.33 Hazeroth and abode at Hazeroth. 00:09:17.36\00:09:20.17 We are continuing to read in the book of Numbers. This is 00:09:20.20\00:09:23.75 chapter 12 and this is the King James Version. 00:09:23.78\00:09:25.77 And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the 00:09:25.80\00:09:32.29 Ethiopian woman whom he had married. For he had married an 00:09:32.32\00:09:36.33 Ethiopian woman and they said, Hath the Lord indeed spoken only 00:09:36.36\00:09:41.60 by Moses? Hath he not spoken also by us? And the Lord heard 00:09:41.63\00:09:47.02 it. Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men 00:09:47.05\00:09:52.65 which were upon the face of the earth. And the Lord spake 00:09:52.68\00:09:56.45 suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron and unto Miriam, 00:09:56.48\00:10:00.11 Come out ye three unto the tabernacle of the congregation. 00:10:00.14\00:10:02.94 And they three came out. And the Lord came down in the pillar 00:10:02.97\00:10:09.09 of the cloud and stood in the door of the tabernacle, 00:10:09.12\00:10:11.75 and called Aaron and Miriam, and they both came forth. 00:10:11.78\00:10:15.91 And He said, Hear now My words, If there be a prophet among you, 00:10:15.94\00:10:21.96 I, the Lord will make myself known unto him in a vision, 00:10:21.99\00:10:26.14 and will speak unto him in a dream. My servant Moses 00:10:26.17\00:10:30.88 is not so, who is faithful in all mine house. 00:10:30.91\00:10:34.69 With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, 00:10:34.72\00:10:39.72 and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the Lord shall 00:10:39.75\00:10:43.80 he behold. Wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against 00:10:43.83\00:10:48.82 my servant Moses? And the anger of the Lord was kindled against 00:10:48.85\00:10:53.43 them and He departed. And the cloud departed from off the 00:10:53.46\00:10:58.15 tabernacle and behold, Miriam became leprous, white as snow: 00:10:58.18\00:11:03.19 And Aaron looked upon Miriam and behold she was leprous. 00:11:03.22\00:11:06.85 And Aaron said unto Moses, Alas my Lord I beseech the, lay not 00:11:06.88\00:11:11.14 the sin upon us, wherein we have done foolishly and wherein we 00:11:11.17\00:11:15.12 have sinned. Let her not be as one dead of whom the flesh is 00:11:15.15\00:11:19.98 half consumed when he cometh out of his mother's womb. 00:11:20.01\00:11:22.20 And Moses cried unto the Lord, saying, Heal her now, O God, I 00:11:22.23\00:11:27.78 beseech thee. And the Lord said unto Moses, If her father had 00:11:27.81\00:11:33.43 but spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? 00:11:33.46\00:11:36.54 Let her be shut out from the camp 7 days, and after that 00:11:36.57\00:11:41.15 let her be received in again. And Miriam was shut out from 00:11:41.18\00:11:46.81 the camp 7 days: and the people journeyed not till Miriam was 00:11:46.84\00:11:50.57 brought in again. And afterward the people removed from Hazeroth 00:11:50.60\00:11:55.47 and pitched in the wilderness of Paran. 00:11:55.50\00:11:57.60 We're continuing in the book of Numbers and we're on chapter 13 00:11:57.63\00:12:01.57 and this is the King James Version. 00:12:01.60\00:12:03.49 And the Lord spake unto Moses saying, send thou men, that they 00:12:03.52\00:12:07.82 may search the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children 00:12:07.85\00:12:11.10 of Israel: of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a 00:12:11.13\00:12:15.11 man, every one a ruler among them. 00:12:15.14\00:12:17.75 And Moses, by the commandment of the Lord sent them from the 00:12:17.78\00:12:22.28 wilderness of Paran.
